First off, I apologize to my friends and roleplay partners who've been left hanging. Any desire to cancel old threads is completely understandable.

I've been struggling with a serious health issue the past several months. There was a long period where things would seem to improve only to relapse, delaying things further. All that aside, just wanted to let people know I'm around again and to contact me via PM or Trillian - ironsoldier, if anyone wants to get things going again.

Sermis was standing up, still using the barricade for support but at least no one was paying attention to her again. She would take several deep breaths in and out as she started to regain her energy. She would keep her eyes on Cecilia and Kyoko while still holding the barricades, now gathering her energy and getting ready to make a move. Just like before she would let the two fight it out before jumping in and taking them both out at once or she could wait until one came out on top and then defeat the winner and claim victory. After all, brains over brawn.

Cecilia's attempt to get back up into the ring was mostly halted as the second she got up to her feet the blond beauty was forced to take a painful kick right towards her abs...she let out a gasp followed by a few coughs as her head ceased by Kyoko...

Before she could do much else Kyoko drove her headfirst into the mat for a painful and untactful DDT.

Kyoko landed the ddt and stood up. Stomping down on Cecillia twice before looking around for Sermis, seeing her on the barricade. Kyoko would then roll out of the ring and run towards the other competitor. If she could take out Sermis she could get back to Cecilla and finish her off, she could win this match once and for all. "Lets see how you do when you can't run away!"

Closing in on her she would wind her hand as if she was going for a gut shot she would instead send her other hand forward and try to nail her across the face.

Sermis had gathered her energy and was ready to move. Thus, when she saw Kyoko come out of the ring and ask how well she could do when she couldn't run away, a smile would appear on her face. Sermis would side step, dodging both of Kyoko blows as she then attempted to quickly charge forward and attempted to knock her opponent down with a clothesline. “Just because I prefer brains over brawn doesn't mean I don't know how to fight, my dear Kyoko.” stated Sermis in an arrogant tone. If her attack connected and managed to knock her opponent down, she would then attempt to kick Kyoko head right into the guard rails.

Having basically been abandoned after a hard stomp from Kyoko which followed the DDT, the blond had a bit of time to come to. She started to push herself up to a seated position, rubbing her head and grumbling out in annoyance. Her eyes turning outwards as she Sermis had come back into the match...

Well she couldn't have that. The blond beauty would start to push upwards but she wouldn't go on the offensive just yet. Instead she'd wait in the ring, looking down at Sermis and when the raven haired beauty did turn around the blond beauty would attempt to gesture for Sermis to get into the ring with her. Which Cecilia would then start to back up a bit to give her room enough to do so.

Sermis didn't fall for her feint and dodged her actual blow afterwards Sermis came at her with a clothesline but Kyoko ducked under it as she ran past Sermis, quickly driving her foot back to kick the charging girl. "Heh, could have fooled me."

From there Kyoko would notice Cecili gestering for them to get in the ring, who she was calling out don't particularly matter. Kyoko turned to Sermis and attempted to drive a few punches into her kidney before grabbing her hair and dragging her back towards the ring. "Have to keep an eye on you." She muttered as she dragged Sermis in with her.

Sermis charged forward and attempted to take down her opponent with a clothesline. Yet to her surprise, Kyoko had managed to dodge it and kick her in the back, causing Sermis to land on the rails. She would turn around only to be hit in the gut several times, causing her to gasp for air. She was then dragged to the ring by her hair, causing her to grunt in the process as her opponent said a few words to Cecilia.

Yet as they reach the ring, Sermis would attempt to suddenly grab her opponent head and slam it on the edge of the ring, not once, not twice but three times, trying to stun Kyoko. “Do you really think that few attacks would be able to take me out?” replied Sermis before attempting to grab her opponent and throw her in the ring. If everything went well, she would then attempt to quickly slide into the ring as well.

Cecilia looked on at the commotion outside of the ring between Sermis and Kyoko as the two of the struggled to see who'd get who into the ring. Finally it seemed as if Sermis had turned the tables on it and within a moment of slamming Kyoko's head down on the ring apron thrice no less...the Belly Queen was rolled into the ring.

The blond beauty was quick on the uptake of that as she wouldn't let the chance to get some payback for that DDT slip out of her grasp. As soon as Kyoko was rolled into the ring the blond beauty would reach down to pull her up to her feet. A swift kick right into Kyoko's gut was the next she'd try to do in order to stun the raven haired woman.

Quickly turning around and placing Kyoko's chin on her shoulder the blond powerhouse would try and drop down in a swift move into a stunner as she'd try and drop down on her rear! Attempting to take a bit of fight out of Kyoko for a while.

Kyoko eyed Cecilia as she neared the ring and was caught completely off guard when Sermis's hands came up and grabbed her, dropping her three times on the ring. "Uuggh!" Kyoko moans as she's dragged into the ring by Sermis, her head feeling fuzzy as she tries to even see straight.

She isn't given much as far as reprieve when Cecilia quickly grabs her and lifts her back to her feet. Kyoko isn't able to offer any fight as Cecilia lands a solid kick into her belly, folding her up before grabbing her head and dropping her in a stunner. "Aaauiff!" Kyoko shoots back up completely dazed before falling to the floor, her body going limp.

Sermis tactic had worked, she had managed to knock her opponent head on the wrestling mat several times before sending her into the ring. The raven hair wrestler would roll into the ring and get to her feet. She would watch as Cecilia put the third wheel in a stunner, taking her out of the match for a while. A smile would appear on Sermis face as she saw Kyoko body go limp from the brutal attack.

With the purple hair wrestler out of the match, raven hair wrestler could now focus on the hardcore queen. She would wait until Cecilia would get back on her feet before attempting to move in and hit her with a superkick aimed right for her chin. If everything went right, both Kyoko and Cecilia would be down and easy picking for Sermis.
